52.0. "FIELD VALIDATION" by CINEMX::MARKHAM (DEBORAH MARKHAM) Tue Oct 11 1988 17:42

    HELP..IM IN THE SHIPMENT SCREEN AND TRYING TO FIND OUT SHIPMENTS ON THE
    8800'S.  I WANT TO USE THE WILDCARDING IN THE PART ID FIELD SO I
    GOLD '.  INSTEAD OF PROMPTING  "ENTER QUERY EXPRESSION" IT PROMPTS
    "FIND STRING: THEM IT PROMPTS "REPLACE STRING:   AT THE FIND STRING
    PROMPT I TYPED - CONTAINS '8800' AND IT NEVER PUT AN ASTERISK IN
    THE PART ID FIELD.  MY QUESTION IS AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG WHEN
    I ASKED FOR A PART THAT DOESN'T HAVE 2-5-2 FOR A PART NUMBER?

52.1Try GOLD . instead of GOLD 'SHOTIM::COPDEV61Karen Underkofler DTN 269-2286Thu Oct 13 1988 09:3615
    What type of terminal do you have?  You may want to try 
    GOLD . instead of GOLD '.  If you have a VT200 series terminal,
    you may press FIND a second time.
    
    If none of these suggestions work, you may be having a problem with
    your terminal setup.  Let us know by replying to this message.
    
    If your "Enter Query Expression" response is invalid, the message
    
         Query by example caused no records to be retrieved - reenter
    
    You will get something (zeroes if no records are found) if the
    aggregate name is valid.
    
    Hope this works for you!
52.2FIELD VALIDATIONCINEMX::MARKHAMDEBORAH MARKHAMThu Oct 13 1988 12:067
    GOLD , WORKED GREAT THANK YOU KAREN.  I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
    IM A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE PART ID FIELD.  WHEN A PART DOSEN'T
    HAVE A 2-5-2 ID FOR EXAMPLE - 8800 AND MVAX.  WHAT WOULD BE THE
    CORRECT WAY TO ENTER THE PART ID FOR THOSE PARTS?

52.3Use an aggregation screenCINEMX::GARABEDIANMon Oct 24 1988 17:046
Debbie,

When you are using a non 2-5-2 part then use an aggregation screen. I believe 
all 2-5-2 screens have an associated aggregation screen.
